mike Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, i were wondering what you people think is better natural or urban (street). Personally i do prefer urban myself, CraigLeeScott is a perfect example of urban so i would like to know what you guys prefer.Also ive never really tryed natural i just think urban looks alot better, for those that have done both can you tell me which is harder? thanks CraigLeeScott is also really quite amazing at Natural.Mike!!!

ramps Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Gotta be.....................................................................NATURAL far better, though i ride street more because all i have to do is open me front and hey presto! street to ride on. natural is physically and mentally more demanding though as mentioned before. I dont do comps and dont plan to, i just like rocks to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob rides trials Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 OK, thank you all for you're opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxx1 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 To me Trials is all about competing & riding sections so it would have tobe natural mainly. I agree that street looks pretty good & you dont getyour bike dirty but it's just for pussy's. (only joking) but people havethere preferences & this is mine. For example, A pile of natural rocks: there is so many lines & ways to ride. A brick wall : up & down.i would give natural a go but there are no rocks local so i've just got a taste for street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Natural is good when you can find it, but its not like street...Street is more doing tricks on things, natural is more of "make it up there/down there in whatever way you can"Nathan...

Brian Bleech Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) most of the people in this thread need to go ride some proper natural...hahanatural is awesome - its so challenging and no rock is the same. you don't even have to ride comps to enjoy. just the going somewhere and having a field of rocks in front of you and just trying to get up, down, across as many as possible. its ace with a few mates and a sunny summers day. just riding and pushing yourself. plus roll down rule on natty!!but... street is awesome - i tend to go bigger on street, but at the same time just totally more freestyle - spins and tricks. maybe i am just lucky and ride in one of the best street spots in the uk. but everything is game to ride on in street walls, rails, chains, bollards - just use your imagination and street is awesome. i love trying gaps and ups and stuff and just seeing how many ways i can do something and throwing in tricks and adding bits on that are totally 'unneccesary' . Street is as 'hard' as you want it to be really. last night we were trying this line that was ridiculous, a kicker into a five foot hook, but the 'wall' we were hooking was a four wall, with a foot and a bit high rail on top. we pretty much knew we could actually do the whole line, but it was fun just trying...anyhow yeah - just ride its ace mike Edited January 4, 2006 by leedstrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawz114 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 urban, i love riding urban at night, only done it a few times but you get such a buzz, everything seems so different at night, its quiet and you dont get people getting in your way all the time. i seem to spot more lines at night too. never really had the chance to ride natural but i really want to ride the rocks on the seafront sometime Clawz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob rides trials Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well i dont think that many people live out in the country so when you walk outside your in a urban environment.When i see kids on there bikes i like to show them some stuff and people that walk by haha.So i prefer to do big drops they always look amazing.

chris222pher Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 i definately prefer natural but that may have something to do with where i live. there is very miniamal street around and a hell of a lot of natural. also as previously mentioned there is so much more to do on natural terrain wich i find makes it more enjoyable!

weebryan Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I prefer natural more of a challenge street is ok but i get board after a while doing the same route over and over i would travel far to get some natural ie the coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p...koxx Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I prefer street just now but i have not been riding for too long i would like to get into natural a bit more once i get a bit better. i find that natural videos are quite boring to watch though i prefer watching videos which are mostly street.
